NBA draft: Will Arizona's Kobi Simmons get picked?

The Arizona Wildcats' freshman Kobi Simmons has announced that he is entering the NBA draft.

The guard, a former McDonald's All-American, averaged 8.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and two assists per game in his lone season in Tucson.

He shot 40 percent from the field, 33 percent from 3-point range and 78 percent from the free throw line.

Simmons' playing time took a hit when Allonzo Trier returned to the Wildcats' lineup and he never seemed to recover.

He started 19 games for Arizona, but played sparingly toward the end of the season.
